2006 UK comedy by Ian Denyer Uncut but as the film contains no violence, no nudity and little sex beyond that implied by the title and references to sex toys, then the distributors felt that 18 was unnecessarily restrictive. They asked the BBFC to reconsider but the BBFC declined with the following statement: This determination was formally reconsidered by the BBFC at the request of the submitting company. The BBFC carefully considered the arguments put forward by the submitting company and looked again at the relevant submitted material, but concluded that its original determination was appropriate. The BBFC did, however, amend the consumer advice. To be released on DVD on 11th June 2007 |

No cuts are listed on the BBFC
database for the 2006 cinema release but the 2006 BBFC Annual Report states:
The first team of examiners believed that a ‘15’ would be required to cover the violence and theme. This decision was appealed by the distributors who felt that the film’s theme was essentially a patriotic one, intended to educate and entertain young people. The film was viewed again by a second team that included the Director and Head of Policy who agreed that the contextual and moral tone allowed for a generous interpretation of the Guidelines but that a ‘12A’ could be offered only if cuts were made to the final shoot-out that provided more emphasis on violence and bloody impacts than is usual at that category. The film was subsequently cut for ‘12A’, |

An uncut R18 was available. Synopsis: Bruce LaBruce incites us yet again with his latest creation that fuses explicit sex, wild graphics with politics in a very unique visual blend. |

(Anchor Bay UK) The video releases of 1986 & 2005 were not cut by the BBFC From the Anchor Bay Forum I have the Umbrella DVD from Australia. This shows the legendary deleted grisly scenes as an extra (rough quality) but even then I do not think they would have been problematic at the BBFC. Way back in 1983 when Razorback was submitted to the Aus censor board, those scenes were an issue, hence their being cut for a lower rating. This cut version was granted an 18 cert here. However it is the version that was released world-wide. The only way to see the complete Razorback is via a sell thru PAL tape from Australia with the R+ 18 rating. |

84:28s | Submitted in 2001 for a Tartan Video DVD release The BBFC have waived all 3 previous cuts for violence (saw attack, decapitation and the bloody head being squeezed) but have retained significant cuts to the headless rape sequence. In implementing the cuts required by the BBFC, the distributors have again cut more material than is strictly neccessary.
The BBFC justified their cuts as follows: The Board still believes that this scene offers a sexual frisson, in a context of non-consensual assault, that could be harmful to some viewers. Contrary to the suggestion that this scene has received cuts through 'taste' rather than legal considerations, the cuts were in fact required under the terms of the Video Recordings Act, which legally obliges the Board to have special regard "to any harm that may be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society as a whole by the manner in which the work deals with... horrific behaviour or incidents... [or] human sexual activity" (VRA Section 4A (1)). Sexual violence is an area of particular concern for the Board, being the one area where a clear link has been drawn, through research, between on-screen depictions of eroticised assault and the behaviour of some viewers. The Board is therefore 'legally' obliged to intervene with any depictions of sexual assault "where the portrayal eroticises or endorses sexual assault" (BBFC Guidelines) because of the 'harm' that might arise from such depictions. Obviously Re-animator will not lead to a spate of attacks on women by decapitated heads but the scene's general association of non-consensual sex with titilatory aspects may be arousing to some individuals and thus be a cause of potential 'harm' within the legal sense. |

83:57s | 1999 widescreen video release by Tartan Video This time the first and last cuts were waived (the attack with the saw and the bloody head being squeezed). However, the two other previous cuts (to the close shot of the shovel cutting the neck and the sexual attack) were maintained. The cut to the sexual assault was, however, made differently - and less effectively - by the distributors, who chose to remove the ENTIRE second half of the sequence, rather than simply edit out the unacceptable portions of it. This was in fact the distributor's choice and was not directed by the BBFC. The 33s cut to the forcible stripping was maintained but this time 1:49s were cut to remove the entire bodiless head sequence (rather than making two separate shorter cuts as happened previously). As a result, this version was cut by a total of 2 minutes 21 seconds. It therefore appeared to have been more heavily cut, even though cuts had in fact been waived! The matter is also slightly further fogged by the fact that this submission was telecined at a completely different speed (slower), making the cuts appear slightly longer than they actually were, but only by about 7 seconds. |

The subsequent video release in 1986 was similar except that the decapitation was explicitly altered to allow the retention of the long shot of the shovel being pressed into the man's neck. Only the close shot was removed for video, as was originally requested by the BBFC. |

These cuts were required...on the grounds that such images may cause harm by encouraging the development of callous attitudes among members of the likely audience. This earlier version of the work was subsequently withdrawn from the classification process by its distributor. The present version, which has been re-edited throughout, was pre-cut prior to submission to remove those elements to which the BBFC had requested cuts. |

20:30s | by Bob Camp (Paramount Home Entertainment) Cut when submitted in 2006 with the following BBFC statement: Cut required to remove a sequence in which the subject of hanging is presented as comedic, fun and risk free, on the grounds of potential harm to the likely audience. The BBFC have incorrectly listed the cuts under the episode, Fake Dad Thanks to David from www.lyris-lite.net where full details of the cuts are described: A pre-cut version was submitted with cuts inflicted for TV running time reasons. The entire Hanging Song sequence as illustrated below has been deleted by the BBFC
The American version called Ren & Stimpy Uncut ended up being cut,
but the cuts were there by accident because the people mastering the discs
used master tapes that had been cut to make room for commercials on American
TV. The cuts on the US discs are mainly long-running scenes, not cuts for
content. Update: The BBFC have just responded to a fairly lengthy questioning regarding these issues which has been posted on www.lyris-lite.net |

This is another horror picture about undead Templar Knights. Some of the ideas are laughable and the ending is weak. Despite of these faults this film is still entertaining. The plot is interesting, the location sets are nice and there's also a little bit of blood. I love especially the-young-girl-between-the-living-dead sequence. Give this movie a chance. |

![]() |
41:31s | Japanese anime by Hideki Takayama/Gary Wicks/Barry McCormick
(Kiseki Films) Cuts as described by a BBFC examiner: Take the Rape of Elektor sequence we cut from Overfiend 4. This is a scene of sustained anal and oral rape, mutilation and much worse in which the woman is crying repeatedly for the demons to stop. When you show somebody a scene like this there is often very little argument whether we should censor it or not. There may well be an audience which is mature enough to watch this and appreciate and understand the scene in the way the filmmakers intended. But our concern is that this is presented in a very titillating manner which is not appropriate for an audience in their mid-teens. There is no sense of horror or disgust at what the woman is going through; the way it is shot and designed invites the audience to take pleasure from the scene. And scenes like this multiple rape, gang rape, sexualised violence are about all we ever cut from anime. If there was a scene like this in a live action film, we would probably hand it over to the police. |

130:42s | 1996 US film by Michael Bay Cut for video by 15s, cert 15, video running time 130:42 The Rock caused grief at the BBFC as follows: Sean Connery was adapting his violent talents to the modern mode, throwing knives, breaking necks and spraying bullets into the feet of opposing soldiers in the action adventure The Rock, which was cut by 15s to preserve its 15 on video. Since violent blows are brief, cuts to remove them can be brief but their excision makes a significant difference, It would be interesting to speculate why screen heroes of the nineties have become so coldly callous. One day, perhaps the question may be answered by social historians, but it is a trend that sits rather oddly with Britain's new culture of compassion.

releasing) The cinema cuts were waived when submitted for DVD in 2007. The video was notable for not obtaining a video release for such a long time. It did turn up on Bravo TV though The uncut region 2 DVD is available at UK Amazon Review from IMDb: The Prowler is an overlooked horror film from that golden
age of slasher films of the late 70s and early 80s. The film is directed by
Joseph Zito who has special effects wizard Tom Savini to thank for the
film's best scenes. The film has some glaring dead spots, too. Character
development is nearly non-existent, and the motivation behind the carnage is
not defined by any logical means. Let me put it this way; I have absolutely
NO IDEA why the killer committed these murders. I wonder if the writers even
knew. |

106:23s | 2002 US/German film by Roger Avary (Icon) All video/DVD/online versions are cut from the US NC-17 version with the following BBFC statement: A cut was required to a scene in which a teenage girl slits her wrists, on the grounds that the technique used is not widely known and is potentially more likely to result in death than the more common method. Thanks to Daniel: Rewriting the Rules of Attraction The video version was cut to remove a shot of Teresa Wayman cutting her wrist lengthwise with a razor because the BBFC considered it instructional depiction of a potentially lethal suicide technique. The shot in question only lasts a few seconds, so the distributor removed it and then slowed down the remaining footage to cover the gap left by the deleted shot and allow the Harry Nillson song Without You to play as it does in the uncut version. As a result the BBFC list a substitution cut of 1 min 34 seconds, the total amount of footage slowed to accommodate the cut. The BBFC’s intervention did not really lessen the power of this crucial scene, but unfortunately when the film was screened recently on Film Four, whoever prepared the film for broadcast misunderstood the technical aspects of this cut, and instead removed the entire 1 minute 34 seconds the BBFC appeared to mandate deleting the suicide scene in almost its entirety. Accidental though it seems to be, it’ a crippling cut International Versions The suicide scene is also cut in the R rated region 1 DVD which ends up being cut more than the UK release as it also missing some sex scenes. There is an uncut region-free version circulating in Australia available via US Amazon The suicide scene is on YouTube |

The cinema
version of 2003 is the uncut US NC-17 version (and includes the 22s cut by the US censors to achieve an R
rating).
It seems that distributors first submitted the R Rated cut then revised their decision, and submitted the NC-17 version. |
